A6-9500 vs Core i3-2328M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2328M performs better than the A6-9500. Despite this, the A6-9500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-2328M has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-9500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2328M. The Core i3-2328M outputs less heat than A6-9500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
